2015 Map of Lewis Ranch

About this map

Lewis Ranch serves as the focal point of this Laramie County landscape, where an intricate network of irrigation ditches and reservoirs defines the arid terrain. The mapping of Carey Horse Cr Ditch Number 9, Carey Horse Cr Ditch Number 10, and others highlights the critical importance of water management for cattle ranching and agriculture in Wyoming. These engineered waterways redirect Horse Creek to fill multiple storage basins including Number 1 Reservoir, Number 5 Reservoir, and Carey Reservoir Number 1. Significant geographical depressions and drainages such as Lewis Draw, Chivington Draw, and Nimmo Draw break the high plains, providing a detailed look at the local topography as it functioned in the early 21st century. This survey preserves the exact placement of rural county roads like CR-232 and CR-124, which connect these remote ranching outposts.
